Re: [alfa] 3rd Gear Pop Out

["Dean" <tessiedog@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would be amazed if altering the fluid type fixed a problem such as that,
however I hope it does. Sounds like something in the retaining/selector
mechanism.Not real shore though cause the only g/boxes I have had apart have
been from alfetta's. Let us all know if the fluid works.
Cheer,
Dean,
